Connecting bridges

[Zifnab]

Which of the bridges should I be connecting to unlock the chip to change the multiplyer? A picture or link would be nice. i haven't been able to find that info since I got my chip, though I saw it before that. I have an amd athlon t-bird 900 which is currently runnning at 1025 (9x114).

Go to Tom's hardware Guide- Overclocking AMD'S Socket Processors. Ther is a good artical on that. On how to connect the L1 bridge

[Zifnab]

Did I understand correctly? I just have to connect the L1 bridges, and none of the others?

yep; to unlock Multiplier; just connect the L1 bridges. Piece of cake, I used HB pencil and boom.... there it went, less than 5 minutes. :-) :-) :-)

the pencil trick is old school , it was used when no one knew any better, a conductive pen is avalible at a decent price under 20 bucks this is a good choice

here is a pic of what the L1 bridges look like when conected in the corect manner

Rather than a conductive ink pen, you could use Windshield Defogger repair paint. Its very conductive. It might be a little more permanent though. Its also cheeper (by about 10 bucks, I believe). Its a little hard to apply though, and takes a steady hand.

are you stuck at 1125

cove volts are low bump them and raise the i/o volts you should be able to get 1.2 with no problem over that you might run into problems

I used the windshield defogger repair kit. Not quite as easy as everyone made it sound. I tried a needle but couldn't seem to get enough paint in the right place. So I tried a sharpend toothpick and got too much paint every where. Then I tried useing a jewlers screwdriver with a 1/32" tip and this worked the best but I still couldn't connect all the bridges without creating shorts. so after about six attempts I decided to simplify the stuation. I connected the first bridge and when I was satisfied I let it dry for half an hour. Then I went back and did the next bridge and let it dry. That way if (when) I screwed up and shorted out the bridges I could clean off my mistake and still keep the good conections. In hindsight I think a pen might have been easier but autozone was right down the road.
